No. If you currently have coverage through a private or employer-sponsored insurance plan, you'll continue to access your benefits as usual.

Coverage under the Saskatchewan Drug Plan won't impact your private plan, but individual insurance policies may vary. If you're unsure, it's best to check with your insurance provider or plan administrator.
